Sword from Hengshan

Chapter 10: Shocking Snake
After only two sticks of incense, Jin Qisheng and others gave up and returned.

The fake Lao Wang escaped after all.

"We went to Lao Wang's house and found his body on the bed. There were also traces of disguise in front of the dressing table. It looked like he had been there for a day."

"This person took advantage of Lao Wang's recent discomfort in his throat so that we could ignore the changes in his voice. This can be said to be deliberate."

Jin Biaotou felt a chill all over his body:
"Fortunately, we found out in time. The escort agency will hold a banquet in a few days to meet some friends from the underworld. If he had poisoned someone at that time, the consequences would be unimaginable!"

Lu Gui interjected:

"In that case, wouldn't setting a fire tonight just serve as a warning?"

"That's what's so scary about this guy."

Lu Shilai was frightened for a while and glanced in Zhao Rong's direction.

"Set a fire at this time. If the real culprit cannot be caught, it will definitely make the entire bodyguard bureau even more nervous. At that time, with Mr. Long's cautious character, it will be inevitable to summon more colleagues from all walks of life to discuss things."

"What if he poisons him again then?"

"I'm afraid that even the Hengshan Sect will be affected by the Changrui Escort Agency."

Lu Shilai had extraordinary knowledge, and everyone thought according to his logic, and everyone was upset by this man's madness.

Setting a fire tonight is also a provocation.

If it weren't for Zhao Rong, he would have been able to hide everything.

Now that the situation had calmed down, Pu Kui asked a question that most people were curious about in public.

"Brother Rong, did you ask Head Guard Lu to ask them what secrets Yue Xie hides?"

"How could that man get angry after hearing what Lao Zhou said?"

Seeing everyone's gazes, Zhao Rong kept his story short.

"I happened to be eating wontons on the street when I heard the sound of running water. At that time, dark clouds covered the moon and the sky was pitch black. I used the wonton shop's oil lamp to see clearly the fillings of the wontons."

"But the dark time is short. When the fire was put out, the dark clouds had been blown away by the night wind, and the moon was full tonight, so it was bright."

"If Lao Wang was really plucking pig hair when he walked into the water, he must have known that it was dark in the courtyard. If he ran to the warehouse and set fire, entered the corridor house, and had to hold the lamp regardless of whether it was dark or not, it would be difficult to remember the light and dark."

"Deputy Master Long has been in the house all the time. She can give a vague answer. But Lao Wang can't because he has been in the open courtyard all the time."

"That's why when escort Lu asked about Lao Wang, the moon was shining brightly, so he didn't hesitate to guess the answer."

"When Lao Zhou recalled that it was dark, this person knew that he had been exposed."

"If we don't make a sudden attack and create chaos, he won't be able to escape once we take a position and surround him."

After Zhao Rong explained, everyone around him suddenly realized.

Pu Kui and Lu Gui praised "Wonderful" several times!
Head Guard Jin came closer and said, "Brother Rong, you are the first to guard the Guard Bureau tonight. When the Chief Guard returns from Yongzhou Mansion, I will definitely accept your kindness."

"Since I am a member of the escort agency, it is my duty to contribute."

Zhao Rong waved his hands hurriedly, "The escort chief's words have been revealed."

Captain Jin said "Okay" and praised Lu Shilai for his ability to recognize people.

People around looked at Zhao Rong differently.

After this night, this young man will no longer be the transparent boy who just joined the escort agency.

Zhao Rong happily accepted the goodwill conveyed by the Changrui Escort. Today he heard the conversation between Lu Shilai and Long Ping. It is almost certain that this Hengshan outer disciple will introduce himself to his mentor, the most powerful figure in the Hengshan sect at the moment. .

Although Mr. Liu Sanye's later years were ominous, that was about five or six years later.

He should be happy.

But as soon as the fake Lao Wang is related to the gangster, and he is involved in the Changrui Escort incident, he will most likely have to deal with these dangerous guys in the future.

Secondly, he was targeted by an unknown master, whose intentions were unclear.

Third, my practice has reached a bottleneck, and it may be difficult to make major improvements in the short term.

As the saying goes, traveling around the world, life is as thin as paper.

Zhao Rong had a strong sense of crisis.

He couldn't help but look at Lu Shilai. He really hoped that this guy would take the lead for him earlier, get some martial arts tips from Mr. Liu San, and learn a few more tricks of the Huifeng Luoyan Sword.

That way, when we meet opponents with skills, we will be able to fight them.

……

Fly into the clear scenery at night, and accumulate prime light in the early morning. Si Xing is fair at first, and Jia Diao is green again.

Returning to Zhaojiawu in the west of the city late at night, Lu Shilai was still concerned about his injury before leaving, and asked several bodyguards to see him off. Pu Kui, who was very familiar with him, was one of them.

Several unfamiliar escorts took the opportunity to get acquainted with Zhao Rong and chatted along the way, from Lao Wang's swordsmanship to the previous bandit robbery.

"The escorts from Hengzhou Prefecture to Yingtian Prefecture have made dozens of trips, but nothing has gone wrong so far. Although there are many powerful people in the three prefectures of Linzhou, Jiujiang, and Huizhou, the chief escorts are familiar and broad-minded. Chang Rui was taken care of by the Hengshan Sect, and most of his black and white friends along the way appreciated him. "

"But a group of ruthless people came out of nowhere and killed more than a dozen members of my escort agency in the Poyang Lake area. Now they even come to provoke me. I'm really bullying people!"

"More than that?"

"The heads of several Hengshan disciples accompanying him are also missing."

"..."

Even the Hengshan disciples died?

The escort agency was secretive about the matter, and Zhao Rong learned the inside story for the first time.

"The Five Mountains Sword Sect has a strong reputation in the martial arts world. Now that the opponent is confident and comes to kill us, this matter is quite difficult."

He thought about it and asked a little more about what kind of escort was missing?
Several escorts regarded Zhao Rong as one of their own, and said frankly: "The escort was entrusted by a big drug dealer in Yingtian Mansion, and the escort's goods are precious medicinal materials such as ginseng, Fuling, Ganoderma lucidum, and deer antlers."

"The chief escort is about to return. This time there will definitely be a group of friends from the Yongzhou Prefecture to help us."

"That's right!"

"The gangsters who robbed the escorts will always have to suffer."

……

After sending Zhao Rong back to Zhaojiawu, Pu Kui left a few patches of wound medicine for external use and internal use. Zhao Rong was injured and did not need to report on his duties these days. The bodyguards asked him to rest well.

That night, he tossed and turned and thought about it for a long time before falling asleep.

The sky is full of stars at the fourth watch, and the sparse curtains are gradually becoming colder. The clear water of the deep autumn stream gurgles. The moon is shining faintly down the Western Mountain.

Baili Yancheng is cold and far away, and a lonely boat is parked deep in the pond.

The cold lake breeze blew away sleepiness. The boatman wore a bamboo hat and a hemp-colored turf raincoat. He stood on the bow of the boat, holding an oar in his hand and moving it continuously.

The hull of the boat glides on the water, making slight ripples and melodious oars.

There were two people sitting outside the boat shed, each looking at the embarrassed young man sitting cross-legged in front of the medicine stove with strange expressions.

This man was in his twenties, his face was as white as paper, his breath was short, and he coughed from time to time.

"Senior Brother Shi, how could we end up in this situation?"

"Most of the people in Changrui Escort Agency are reckless. In terms of skills, who can injure you to this extent?"

"Even the master praised my senior brother for his disguise skills. We have silenced the cook's voice with poison. Did we leave any flaws?"

The pale young man snorted coldly. He poured out a bowl of soup and drank it, then said:
"There is a master hidden in the escort agency. I was accidentally attacked and received a slap in the face."

"That man's palm strength is very good, and his internal energy is huge and fierce. If he fights head-on, he will be a difficult character to deal with."

Senior Brother Shi frowned and recalled:

"When I held hands with him, his expression changed a lot, and he might have recognized my identity."

"He has a sword on his back. With his inner strength, he must have a pretty good swordsmanship. But he didn't draw his sword. He must be worried that I would see through his swordsmanship and cause trouble. So he didn't hesitate to get hurt and put his palms together to fight me with all his inner strength."

"Huh, he does know how to protect himself."

"So, it's not like he's a master of the Hengshan sect. He probably comes to the escort agency to help out."

After finishing speaking, the young man with triangular eyes in gray clothes looked at another shorter young man:

"Junior brother Ma Yuyang, what do you think?"

"Senior Brother Dai, a few days ago I bumped into a demon from the Demon Cult in Hengyang City and was unfortunately injured. Junior Brother Guo Qichang was even killed with lime eyes. I still don't know who did it."

"Master sent Senior Brother Shi to take charge of the overall situation. Unexpectedly, he accidentally met a master. It will be difficult for those people from the Haisha Gang to accomplish anything alone."

"At this critical moment, it's better to ask Master to send more good soldiers to avoid affecting the overall situation."

Triangle Eyes nodded and looked at Senior Brother Shi Xianying.

"Just do it."

Shi Xianying said angrily: "I was injured by the strong force and could not return to my peak within two months. I have postponed my plan for the time being."

"Ask someone to go to Yingtian Mansion to plan and ask Changrui Escort Agency to provide another escort."

“I’d like to take a look.”

"Do they have the guts to take it?"
